The Senior Pastor, Chairman of the Council of Elders, and the Chairman of the Council of Deacons must, together, choose a person from either the pastoral staff, the Council of Elders, or the Council of Deacons to chair the meeting.

If any one of the Senior Pastor, the Chairman of the Council of Elders, or the Chairman of the Council of Deacons refuse to participate in this process within the stated time periods then the process for arranging the meeting will continue without them.
